"RIDE THE LAUGHING WIND"

Words and Music by: JOHN ROBERT "SAIGON" MALLERNEEJensen, UtahThursday 28 February 2002

VERSE # 1: I hear the haunting song of lonely coyotes.I see an eagle circling in the sky.There's a dust cloud moving on a distant mesa,For the spirits of the Old Ones never die.

CHORUS:Kachina spirits, ride the laughing wind!Please lead me to eternal teachings true.As I ever wander through this Indian nation,I'm relying for my guidance upon you.I'm relying for my guidance upon you.

VERSE # 2:In the rugged hills of western Colorado,Where Utah and Wyoming touch the sky,The Old Ones left, but we can read their storyIn ancient petroglyphs for modern eye.

VERSE # 3:The Son of God once dwelt among these people.He taught them truth, but they soon fell away.Yet, the spirits of the Old Ones are still with usAnd Kachina laughter echoes every way.
